Hi — I'm Ryk Fortuna, 22-year film FX veteran (seven years at Weta Workshop: King Kong, Avatar, District 9) now doing creature concept full-time. My process is AI-assisted and honestly disclosed: AI drafts the rough, I art-direct, alter, and finish everything in software. Portfolio: https://www.instagram.com/efxboy. For the Thera test creature I'd propose $50/hr, roughly 5–8 hours ($250–400), with 50% deposit upfront and the balance on delivery. If the test lands, happy to discuss the full roster on the same terms. Thanks for your time.
